Similarities between Switzerland and Japan Wealthy, highly developed, very ‘organised’ societies Very high life expectancy Low to very low fertility levels High rates of childlessness at present time Low levels of extra-marital childbearing

Differences between Switzerland and Japan Arranged marriage very common in Japan, but falling: 63% in 1955, 7% in 1998. Lifetime singleness was rare, 2% High immigration and foreign population in Switzerland; very low in Japan Very homogeneous population in Japan; very diverse in Switzerland Co-residence with parents common in Japan (25% eldest sons in 1998)

Rural v. urban (and region) Primary determinants of marriage and childbearing in Switzerland from census data and longitudinal analysis of Swiss Panel data Cohort Religiosity Rural v. urban (and region) Level of education (high level = higher chance of childlessness) If had a sibling (affects childbearing more than marriage) 1, 3 and 4 confirmed in Japanese studies too - Retherford et al, 2001, Hirosima, 1995

Trends in attitudes reflect fertility trends in Japan Increase in proportion never-married is the main cause of fertility fall - why has this happened? Little change in attitude to religion Moderate trend towards individualism Major change in attitude to women’s status 1985-1995 Positive attitude to girls Enrolment of girls in higher education > boys by end 1980s In parallel with major change of attitudes to aged parents, whether women should marry, divorce, sexuality, etc. Atoh, 2001
